Hello,
I have a very specific question concerning the installation of a WD 8013 netcard
with VP/ix to get through to a novell server.
1) I got one of this new software configured WD 8013 & tried to
configure it to work with my VP/ix ! I didn't succeed after
two nights of hard work !!
2) Can anyone send me a working configuration or answer the
following questions:
a) Do I have to install the UNIX driver for WD8013 in the kernel to
get it work on the VP/ix ??
b) Shall I choose the /dev/wd0 device or the /dev/netcard device to
configure it ??
c) What are the right major and minor numbers of the wd0 node in
/dev directory ?
d) What interrupt, I/0 & shared memory ranges shall I choose ?
I tried to configure it as netcard (major 38, minor 2, device driver vdi (Virtual
Device Interface, probably ?)) with 2a0-2bf and c8000-cbfff and every interrupt
I found, and the test passed for I/O & memory, but did loose the interrupt when
the card reads somewhere in the kernel, when its 2,10 or higher. With interrupts
3,5 I got a
ioctl failed
bad address
during the start of vp/ix !! even when I remove the i/o and memory and only look
for the interrupt as DDA !!! My ipx runs finely, but net3 fails with
couldn't find a file server
naturally. I'll resume for the group
